Wickford Appliance Coat Drive 11/16/2023
Absolutely thrilling news about our coat drive! Wickford Appliance proudly served as one of the primary drop-off locations for our inaugural event. On November 9th, the Interact students skillfully adorned one of our large donation boxes, infusing it with creativity and spirit. Incredibly, just six days later, on November 15th, we received an email announcing that the box at Wickford Appliance was already brimming with warmth – it was completely full! This swift and overwhelming response from the community is a testament to the generosity of this community. Picture this: overloaded bags packed snugly into the car, the trunk slowly closing under the weight of generosity. What a sight! With two more weeks left in the coat drive, this early success is a promising sign of the impact we can continue to make. Let's harness this momentum and make our coat drive the best it can be!

Middletown Rotary Club Supports Hurricane Relief in Asheville, NC
Disasters remind us of the importance of community, and today, the Middletown Rotary Foundation proudly sent $4,000 to the Rotary Club of Asheville, NC, to assist in their ongoing disaster relief efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Helene. Six weeks after the storm, the recovery is far from over. As Rotary Club of Asheville President Eva-Michelle Spicer shared, "Six weeks later and it’s still devastating." In the aftermath, their club has worked tirelessly to rebuild and restore: ✅ Delivered a trailer with a water filtration system to an early learning center, providing clean water for 300 families and enabling the center’s kitchen to reopen for cooking. ✅ Distributed water bags to families in need. ✅ Picked apples, cleaned up streets, and restored buildings to bring their community back together. We’re inspired by their incredible efforts to bring hope and healing, and we’re honored to contribute to this mission of service. This is ServiceAboveSelf in action.
